It fits the three physical injuries.
Looks like the epithelial cells under his nails are yours.
They'll get the DNA result soon.
Crap.
What do we do?
What can we do? I'll have to take the blame.
And after the fight?
After that? Nothing.
I went home.
You're giving me that look again. I hate that look.
I've been honest with you. You still don't believe me?
Why did Gao Ya'nan want to meet that night?
She wanted to ask me...
No. She wanted to ask you if you believe I'm innocent.
But I think...
she's being a bit strange.
What is it?
I just feel that she's...
a little strange.
How about Zhou Shutong?
No.
Those alcoholics, you think they'll be honest with a girl?
Don't worry.
I left word with the bartender.
We still need to come up with a good story just in case.
Then think of a good one for me.
By the way,
want to know another shocking news?
Did you know Liu Changyong has a daughter? Guess who.
That Zhou Xun, there's no such thing as free lunch with him.
Oh, Vice Captain Liu is here.
Give us some privacy.
Let's go.
Except Zhou.
Hey. Did Zhou offend Vice Captain Liu?
Don't you know?
Vice Captain Liu is Zhou's father.
Vice Captain Liu kicked her mother out years ago.
Qian, I managed to get two Phoenix Legend tickets.
Let's go tonight.
That enthusiasm should be channeled toward the case.
Before you transferred here,
why didn't you let me know first?
What?
Graduates with a criminal investigation degree can't get here via regular process
without pulling your strings?
There were many jobs to choose from after you graduated.
Why did you...
Criminal investigation is exhausting without much reward.
Field work can be very risky.
-If you told me earlier-- -When I...
When I graduated,
I think I only saw Captain Zhou and didn't see you.
I never thought you'd worry about my job after I graduated.
Tongtong, I know you've held a grudge against me all these years.
I understand that.
But it was between us adults.
You wouldn't understand. I just hope--
You hope that I won't be like mom.
A burden you just can't wait to get rid of.
Vice Captain Liu, what work-related matter can I help you with?
I came to see you today
not to fight with you.
Then what for?
Are you afraid I'd reveal
the Vice Captain's dark past to the unit?
Zhou Xun transferred you to the field team
and put you under Guan Hongfeng.
His intention is questionable.
Guan Hongfeng's brother
is a Class A fugitive.
Because of his brother's case,
he quit and left
then agreed to return to the unit as a consultant after a few months.
It's all Zhou Xun's been doing while I was gone.
What's his intention behind this?
In one aspect, he's an idiot.
He wants Guan Hongfeng to solve his cases.
On the other hand,
he's using you to crack Guan Hongyu's case through Guan Hongfeng.
If he gets implicated in his brother's case,
you'll get involved too.
And Zhou Xun can say he has no idea.
Besides,
girls are not suited for field work.
Two years ago, a girl named Wu Lingling was killed
while she was out with Zhou Xun and Guan Hongfeng.
It's not that I don't want you to be a cop.
I just want you to be safe--
I'm really curious about how someone like you became vice captain.
Whether it's Captain Zhou or Mr. Guan,
you think they have ulterior motives or create problems.
But in my opinion,
they're the real detectives.
Their objective is to solve cases and catch criminals.
Unlike Liu Changyong and his bureaucratic ways.
Having someone like you as vice captain
is a disgrace to our unit.
So, where's the document?
Captain Zhou needs it. Hurry up and deal with it.
Right away.
Looking good for someone who hasn't slept.
I guess the chief knows being a captain is physically demanding.
That's why he promoted you.
If what that hairdresser said was true,
with the time in mind,
the man with the iPhone and the one who left in a taxi
are the same person.
He's either the killer or an eyewitness.
When he saw the body,
he threw the phone away.
Makes sense.
When it comes to brainstorming, you're all we need.
People like me can just search some trash cans.
This is called
being a master in one's own craft.
Using Zhou Shutong to control Liu Changyong,
that's talent.
Liu's a status seeker. I don't care what he says.
But if he gets in the way of our cases,
I won't go along with all his nonsense.
Nonsense...
You're full of nonsense as well.
You dangle a carrot before me so I would help you solve the case.
The case is done, so you hand the files to my enemy.
Guan,
let's be reasonable.
You were there when Liu intercepted the files.
It was coincidental bad timing.
I don't think it was a coincidence.
Oh, right. Why did Ya'nan want to talk to you in private that day?
When did I...
Who told you I met with her privately?
I heard Wang mention it in passing.
Wang seems to be your scapegoat for everything.
Is our agreement still valid?
Just a moment.
Hello?
Yes.
AC delivery?
Yes, available.
Yes. Number 602, third floor, Longzheng Garden 16.
Why did you go to East Park? I'm in North Park.
Yes.
Listen, which direction are you facing now?
Facing south? Then keep going.
Turn left at the third intersection. Yes.
Then there's a bicycle shed. You'll turn at the shed.
Yes.
No, facing north-- Are you leaving, Guan?
Take care. I'm not talking to you.
When Qi Weidong came out of prison,
he had dinner with Yaoji.
That man is trouble.
Yaoji?
You're all covered up.
Mister, stop ahead please.
Captain Guan.
Liu.
Liu?
Ji.
The last lot was a bit damp.
It's no good.
Give me better ones.
Do you want it or not?
I do, I do.
I'll get going, Ji. I'll be in touch.
-Be careful. -Okay.
It's done.
I'm hanging up.
Stay still.
I have a question.
Mister, calm down.
Ask me anything.
How did Wu Zheng and his family die?
How would I know?
The case is set.
They said it was Guan Hongyu. He's the wanted suspect.
Didn't you work with Wu Zheng?
Who are his enemies?
How would I know?
I'm just a nobody.
-I've never seen the boss. -Think.
Mister, I've really never met him.
I've never met him.
-Get him! -Ji!
Stop!
Faster!
You're back.
I want to talk to you.
Stop!
-Move! -Stop!
Stop!
Split up.
Be a Smart Talker and Doer
Liu.
You've held a grudge against me all these years.
Guan,
what do you want?
I want to see the Feb. 13 files.
I understand how you feel.
But rules are rules.
Don't be difficult.
I've worked hard all these years...
yet I'm just a vice captain.
It won't be long before I retire.
The only thing I can do is to solve this case
so that before I retire...
I won't have any regrets.
But if you really feel
that your brother didn't do it...
I can...
investigate this for you privately.
Okay.
You do your job. I'll do mine.
By the way...
don't read those kinds of books anymore.
Be a Smart Talker and Doer
I'll do it for you if Tongtong leaves the team.
Stop there!
Get him!
I'll be frank.
I don't want Tongtong to do field work.
In fact, I don't want her to be a cop.
You know how dangerous our job is.
But she won't listen.
It's not her fault.
You'll know the feeling...
if you have children.
If you can get Tongtong
to leave the team,
then I will turn a blind eye to his case.
NO SMOKING
-Hello? -Bro, it's me.
I was at Yaoji's area, and he deals drugs.
Where are you? We can't be out at the same time.
I'm wearing a mask to cover my face.
Don't worry. I'm hanging up.
Hello? Go home now.
You hear me?
There are toilets downstairs too.
Come in.
Captain Zhou.
From the main road surveillance clips, we found a taxi with plate Port B81433.
It's under Xiang Yang Company. I think that's the one.
-Did you find the driver? -He's on his way here.
Any footprints at the scene?
We couldn't find any usable impression at the scene.
But we got fingerprints from the victim's belongings.
Maybe those would help.
Which evidence were they from?
Cash and coins.
Prints on money aren't worth much.
If the killer touched them, he would take them.
Since they weren't taken, those prints are not his.
I'll go talk to the driver.
You're up.
Just a moment.
It was you?
Where am I?
What's this for?
I got caught by you?
Who are you?
Shouldn't I be the one asking you?
I'm sorry. There must be some kind of mix-up.
Didn't I tell you I'm a cop?
Look at this.
Cops go after criminals.
But you were hiding.
I really don't see how you can be a cop.
How many times do I have to explain? You saw my badge.
It wasn't your badge.
Okay, I'll be honest with you.
I'm on a case right now
and just happened to run into your place.
This is a misunderstanding.
Tying me up like this is really embarrassing.
Untie me so I can go do my job. Hurry up.
Oh, right.
Wouldn't it be my duty as a civilian...
to call the police right now?
What do you mean?
What are you doing?
I mean this.
Class A Fugitive
He has average height.
Twenty-something, bald-shaved head. Not the good kind.
-Where to? -Just drive.
Where did he get off?
I drove around the city for more than half an hour.
And finally...
This is fine. Let me off here.
That's all I know.
I haven't earned my quota for today.
See him out.
Look this way.
Class A Fugitive
Since you know my true identity,
I suggest you let me go.
Listen. I'll count to 1,000.
Let me go or...
You should know I'm an expert...
-Stop blabbering. -I'm kidding.
I was joking. You're so serious.
I'll be honest.
That fugitive
is my brother, Guan Hongyu.
I'm Guan Hongfeng, his older brother. I'm a cop at Changfeng District.
Okay?
-Your brother? -Yes.
He looks just like you.
I can't help that fact.
Look at the photo if you don't believe me.
Does he have a scar?
Class A Fugitive
You believe me now?
Maybe you got the scar later.
Hey.
Look it up.
Changfeng District, Guan Hongfeng.
Check if that's me.
Look it up, okay?
Behave.
Do you do your business
by threatening people?
You found it?
Don't be afraid.
You're safe.
What?
Everything I said was the truth.
I wasn't lying.
Sorry to disturb you.
I'm leaving.
JIN MING TELECOMMUNICATION AUTHORIZED DEALER
I had a fight with my wife.
So I stayed and watched movies here.
I didn't think there would be people.
Who is it? It's late.
Anyone there?
We're closed.
It's a cellphone. Do you want it?
He seemed to be in a hurry to sell it.
It probably wasn't legit,
so I offered him 3,000 renminbi.
He agreed.
-And the phone? -It's here.
We'll need this as evidence.
Okay.
Take care.
This is Wang Hui.
He calls himself Man Qing Diehard.
It's rubbish.
So they call him Ah Man, aka Brother Man.
From Shijiazhuang. No job. No fixed address. Parents from Jingang.
He hardly comes back, except when money is involved.
He used to work at a billiard place in Tashan.
He was fired for stealing.
He was arrested for violence and theft
in the past few years.
Captain Zhou,
we called Wang Hui but couldn't get through.
-Get his phone records. -Okay.
-Hello? -Sir.
No one's at Ah Man's house.
I want a 24-hour surveillance on his house.
Okay.
Wasn't Yaoji involved in Tashan too?
Useless lot.
You can't even catch one person!
-Useless! -Ji.
Ji, the cops are here.
Why are you beating us?
Be quiet.
Behave! Don't move!
Squat!
Captain Zhou.
Behave yourself.
You lied to me.
That Ah Man, is he with you too?
Captain Zhou, why would I lie?
You mean--
I mean that night.
What happened to Qi Weidong?
It hurts...
Captain Zhou, I told you.
That night, Qi had dinner with me here.
I gave him 10,000.
-That's it-- -Bullshit.
I'll ask once more.
Zhou Xun.
Don't cross the line.
I have respect for you guys in uniform.
It doesn't mean I'm scared.
We have mouths to feed.
We have parents.
I say you're stupid, and you start drooling right away.
Are you threatening the police?
Listen.
If I can't protect my whole family...
I won't be who I am today.
Start again.
Captain Zhou.
People like us are all about loyalty.
Nonsense.
Okay. I'll talk.
Man.
His name is Wang Hui.
Say something useful.
What the...
So freaking tenacious.
Okay then.
Cuff him.
Take him back.
Take everyone.
JUSTICE, DEDICATION, INTEGRITY, EFFICIENCY
Captain Zhou!
Why must we be like this?
It's so lame.
I respect you as a man whatever side we're on.
But we need to have a conscience.
What's all this?
I did nothing wrong! Accuse me of whatever you want.
You're not getting anything out of him.
How about his followers?
We already interrogated them. We got nothing either.
Everyone's just as stubborn. It's the same story.
Let me try.
Was Wang Hui with you that night?
Officer, I already told you.
That night, Brother Man had dinner with us.
And after that?
Like we said before, we all went our separate ways.
Why did Yaoji give Qi Weidong 10,000 renminbi?
Qi Weidong...
used to be Ji's boss.
Ji has always been a loyal person.
Did he have Qi Weidong deliver something?
A delivery worth 10,000?
Can you find me one too?
Do you deal drugs?
Listen up, you lot.
I know about your dirty laundry.
Be open with me now, you hear me? Now, talk!
That night, Brother Man had dinner with us.
Then he wanted a hooker.
Before he could go,
Ji called and he left.
What time?
About one o'clock to two o'clock.
Yaoji said he likes visiting hookers.
Is it true?
Yes. He'd go every day if he could.
Which brothel?
I think he told me once.
He even gave me a card.
Yes, this is it.
Make Passionate Friends for an Exciting Night
Interrogation Transcript
What we know so far is
Qi Weidong got a 10,000-renminbi job from Yaoji that night.
Qi took the money but not the job, and they ended on bad terms.
Half an hour later, Yaoji called Wang Hui
and had him go get the stuff at Bridge Yue
less than three kilometers from where they had dinner.
It's also near the crime scene.
The hairdresser also told me that Wang Hui was there.
Wang Hui is Yaoji's follower.
So, there must be something connecting Qi Weidong, Yaoji, and Wang Hui.
By the way,
how did you know they're drug dealers?
Hello?
I was at Yaoji's. He's dealing drugs.
I made a wild guess.
I never thought I'd get it.
If that's the case,
the job Yaoji gave Qi Weidong was to deliver narcotics.
Qi refused, so he got Man to do it.
Captain Zhou,
this is Wang Hui's phone log.
There's a suspicious number
which was dialed a lot.
More than 40 times.
Isn't this the number on the card?
More than 40 times. Oh, my God.
You two, drag that pimp out.
-Us two? -Yes.
By the way,
what about fingernails' DNA result?
There are three that matched the first one so far.
The rest are pending.
Okay.
Since we have a target now,
and you said you'll search the trash cans,
I'll get going.
PUBLIC SECURITY
Mr. Guan.
Don't you have a job to do?
I have a question.
How did you know they were drug dealers?
Didn't I tell you already?
Did you think I was lying?
Do you dislike the fact that Captain Zhou assigned me under you?
If you're talking about the spying, you're right.
But...
I never reported everything I knew to Captain Zhou.
Look.
MERCHANT COPY DELIEVERY
What's this?
At that time, you were at the scene.
But this was delivered to your house.
Have you called for delivery?
I have.
The number displayed is a 16-digit Internet number.
Did you ever wonder why?
Because he never called.
In the end, Zhou and I speculated.
Before Gao Yuan attacked me, he broke into my house.
He had to have a reason to leave work.
Hence, the delivery order doesn't exist.
File it with Zhou Xun.
But the case has been archived.
This...
Ever wondered why Zhou had you spy on me?
Because you're Liu's daughter.
That's why you got in the field team.
Everybody can see
you don't have what it takes to do this.
Everyone's busy.
Only you have time to do spy work.
You can spy on me.
But remember,
in the frontline,
don't ever think subjectively.
Don't cause trouble.
Captain Guan.
-Hello? -Bro.
Where are you?
It's getting dark. What happened?
I was delayed. I'm heading home now.
Look for a bright place and wait for me.
Can you handle it?
It's too risky. I'll think of something.
Hello?
We've done everything.
Relax.
Let's have a meal. It's been a while.
What will we eat?
I'll cook noodles.
